A couple negative effects that drugs can have on a community are that it can make more drug dealers come around, break-ins, gun violence, and instances of prostitution.

Drug abuse doesn’t only effect the user, it effects EVERYONE around. There could be more violence. When you’re addicted, the only thing on your mind is getting that next dose. This would lead to robbery’s and thefts. Drugs could flow into the neighborhood, causing kids getting their hands on it. Family's lives could tumble because of the family's getting addicted
